Four suspected insurgents killed in Kandahar City last night when their own bomb exploded in their compound

If CBC had the headline done CBC Style:

"Four poor freedom fighters were killed last night when the bomb they were making to kill the infidels prematurely exploded, thus depriving them of their martyr status"
Good for a chuckle I figure. ;D

Which is what something like "Durka Durka" would do, especially in such blatantly ethnicity-oriented context - it would draw unwanted attention to the CF if picked up by a reporter.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. As a reporter who has been to Afghanistan, let me quote my first thought upon hearing of this terrible tragedy (and in this case I will speak on behalf of the rational members of the working press, and yes there are some):

A suicide-bomber in southern Afghanistan blew himself up while putting on a vest of explosives, an official said.

The explosion occurred in a house in Gereshk town in Helmand province on Wednesday night. "The blast also wounded a child," a spokesperson for the local administration said.

Helmand is known to be a major Taliban stronghold and much of the fighting between NATO and Taliban forces is taking place in the province.
